UPTW6560MHD

The UPTW6560MHD from Nichicon is a miniature-sized, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UPT series designed for high ripple current and long-life applications. Its radial-can construction and 7.5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for compact power assemblies that require a high-voltage electrolytic capacitor.

Targeted at general-purpose power applications including lighting ballasts and AC/DC power stages, the UPTW6560MHD delivers a 56 µF capacitance at a 420 V rating while providing a balance of ripple handling and thermal endurance.

Key Features

• Electrical rating — 56 µF capacitance at 420 V nominal, polarized construction for DC power applications.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple currents of 430 mA at 120 Hz and 688 mA at 10 kHz address both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Long-life endurance — Designed for 5000 hours of operation at 105°C under rated DC bias plus rated ripple current.
• Temperature range — Specified operating range from –40°C to +105°C for broad thermal tolerance in harsh environments.
• Compact radial can package — Radial lead mounting with 7.5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current defined by 0.06CV + 10 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C); tan δ for 420 V units specified in the series data.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Lighting ballasts — Handles the DC filtering and ripple demands typical in electronic ballast designs.
• AC/DC power supplies — Provides high-voltage smoothing and ripple attenuation in compact power conversion stages.
• General-purpose power filtering — Useful where a compact, high-voltage electrolytic capacitor is required for bulk storage and ripple suppression.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 420 V rating supports high-voltage DC bus and ballast applications without additional series components.
• High ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz address a wide range of ripple frequencies encountered in power electronics.
• Compact footprint: Miniature radial-can dimensions (L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify integration into dense PCB layouts.
• Long-term thermal endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated conditions supports reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Measured leakage and dissipation limits: Leakage current and tan δ specifications provide predictable behavior for design margin calculations.
• RoHS compliant manufacturing: Aligns with restricted-substance requirements for commercial and industrial applications.
